DEAR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF SAVE THE WAVES
This week YOU have the chance to actively oppose offshore oil drilling on our coast. The Department of the Interior’s Secretary Ken Salazar is holding a public comment hearing this Thursday, April 16, at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco. Government officials are seriously considering lifting the moratorium on offshore oil drilling in the United States. We strongly encourage you to come to this Thursday’s hearings and protect your local coastline from oil! Numerous citizen groups are holding a rally at the event and we need your presence to say no to offshore oil and yes to renewable energy.
In addition, if you would like to get more involved, there will be a pre-rally at the Sports Basement (1590 Bryant Street, San Francisco) on Wednesday, April 15 from 6 -9 PM. Come meet with others opposed to offshore drilling and screen print your own custom protest shirt with the San Fran-psycho crew.

Rich Mahrle paid less than $10,000 for his bright red Italian roadster. Martin Gruss got his by bidding nearly $5 million at a major international collector car auction on California’s Monterey Peninsula.
But the point of the 19th annual Copperstate 1,000 vintage sports car rally wasn’t the price of your car but the enjoyment it provided on a 1,000-mile (well, actually a 1,010-mile) four-day tour of a good portion of Arizona.
The Copperstate 1,000 is staged by the Men’s Arts Council of the Phoenix Art Museum. The men’s council was organized in 1968 to provide volunteer night guards for the museum. It has grown to become the largest annual financial contributor to the museum…Â Details
